Though the city police, of late, have initiated a number of measures to check road accidents, no improvement is seen as many youths are seen violating traffic rules and safety norms.

The RTA has formed teams to conduct raids targeting riders without helmets and cancelled driving licences of over 3,000 motorists so far. Despite this, several motorists are seen zooming past on roads without headgear.
